The Solution to the Financial Crisis
by Russell Henderson (russellhenderson.com)
It is no secret that the United States of America is in a serious financial crisis. This past week we have seen President Bush and many of our Senators behind closed doors trying to come up with a plan to get us out of trouble.
Let me tell you right now, as long as they keep trying to do in on their own IT WON’T WORK!!!.
But I have the solution. You won’t hear about this on NBC, CBS, or ABC. You probably won’t even hear about this on CNN or FOX News.
Here it is.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.
Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land.”
Psalm 33:12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord
Jeremiah 33:3
“Call to ME, and I will answer you. I will show you great and mighty things, which you know not of.
And here’s the kicker…..
2 Chronicles 7:14
Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
Did you see that? God said that if you need help there are some things that He requires.
1. Humble Yourself. The first thing that this nation has to do is humble ourselves. Do you know what is destroying America? PRIDE. That is a little pr and little de with a big “I” right in the middle. We’ve spent so much effort in trying to make America great our own way, and we’ve pushed God out of everything, our schools, our government, and even our homes.
2. Pray and seek HIS face. After we’ve humbled ourselves, we’ve got to turn our face towards and heaven and PRAY!!!!. That is the only way we can see our mountain moved. We’ve got to recognize that there is a power higher than us that needs to be at work. Let’s get out of the way, and let God work. Time and time again when Israel would be punished because of sin, if they would turn back to God, He would answer them.
3. Turn From Our Wicked Ways. Do you know what that is? Get rid of your sin. Let’s get back on our knees and confess that we have sinned, and REPENT!!! Having the words “In God We Trust” doesn’t mean one thing if we aren’t willing to trust Him completely. If you confess your sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us.
4. He will hear us, forgive us, and heal our land. Do you want your nation saved, do you want it healed? That is the answer.
President Bush can’t fix this, Senator McCain can’t fix it, and Senator Obama can’t fix. The only way this crisis is going to be fixed is by getting on our knees and seeking the face of God.
What about you? Have you been laid off from your job? Are you struggling to pay your bills, or just put gas in your car? I’ve got the answer.
Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
How do I know that this will work, because God is not a man that He should lie. Everything He has ever promised has come to pass, or will come to pass if we would simply swallow our pride, and trust in Him.
Stop looking for man-made ways to solve your problems. Man can do nothing, but we can do "all things" through Christ who alone gives us strength.
I don’t have President Bush’s number, but I don’t need it.
Keep this email forwarding to everyone you know. And do me a favor, don’t just forward it because everyone hates forwarded emails. Copy it and paste it in a new email.
Come on America, let start praying.
